Case #8: Drainage Concern - 6508 - 171st Lane NW City Engineer Jankowski summarized the drainage concerns of Mrs. Farber at 6508 - 171st Lane NW. He explained that he, along with City Attorney Goodrich, met with Mrs. Farber and her attorney on April 29, 1997. They offered to re-ditch 171st Lane and provide some culverting provided that Mrs. Farber would sign off as it was staff's contention that this would not be a permanent solution to the problem. Or, in lieu of the ditching, Staff offered $2,000 to Mrs. Farber to assist in relocation of her system which is about what it would have cost to do the ditching. Neither offer was accepted. Staff then offered to have an evaluation done of Mrs. Farber's septic system at the City's expense. Such evaluation was done on May 5, and showed that the system was in failure. It is staff's recommendation that the City withdraw any offer City Council/May 27, 1997 Page 8 of 22
